I can't trust most reviews after Picard. It's a symptom of the larger problem with reviews these days that I just don't trust most names anymore.

Critics usually only get to see the first half of a season for their reviews, which can be a problem when the season is heavily serialized and they have to essentially review half a story without knowing whether they'll land the ending. The reviews should be more useful for Strange New Worlds where it's mostly episodic and they can at least review the episodes they saw.

I generally tend to less rely on reviewer's ultimate judgement on something, but instead go more on more of what they liked and disliked, and what they thought of certain elements. Some things that don't bother them might bother me, and vice versa. It's also why I tend to like game review sites that have abandoned putting a number value after their reviews.
